Sean Secures The Bait Before Heading Out
The boys didn’t seem to happy to be going out this morning. With the cold water temperatures the catches fall off dramatically. Tough to get motivated when you know you’re not going to make a whole lot of dough.

Tom Ring In The Office
Here is Tom Ring sitting across from my desk here in the office. Tom Fishes for Lou Williams aboard The Orin C but used to fish with Linda Greenlaw, the female skipper from the Perfect Storm. Tom is one of the great storytellers on the Gloucester waterfront. Every time he steps foot in the office you can be assured there will be a spectacle.

Pictures From Matteo Russo’s Patriot
Usually when I photograph a boat I only post about a third of the pictures that I take. I weed through and cull out the best shots. There were a bunch from the Patriot that were left in the folder and never got posted so there will be a few more photos from different angles in the pilot house and engine room.

Melissa K Covered In Snow 01/18/09
Moments after I took this picture the Kippen boys shoveled off the deck and headed out to go lobstering.
They got to about the Paint Factory when the engine alarm sounded. Realizing that the temperature of the engine had spiked dramatically they did the right thing and shut it down immediatly. Many times in the bitter cold cooling lines in engines freeze up and it can cause an engine to overheat. You can get a blown head gasket and many other problems. Shutting it down right away was the right course of action to prevent damage to the engine.
Kind of ironic that extreme cold creates a problem with overheating but that’s what happens when the coolant doesn’t get to circulate.

Clean as the engine room, here you see lots of electronics and polished wheel.

There aren’t too many engines that you would place a sandwich down on top of and then pick it back up to eat, but Matteo maintained his boat meticulously.

Mending Nets- Fishermen At Work
The Fisherman on the right in the picture is Moses. He has fished for many years on many many boats. Can you guess why they call him Moses? This is a nice shot to see blown up. To view it full screen click the picture and then select “all sizes”.

Mending Nets- Fishermen At Work
See how he has no gloves on? That’s becase it’s impossible to mend the net and work with twine with clumsy gloves on. 20 degrees and blustery cold is not the type of conditions you want to be mending a net for hours on end in, but a fisherman’s work doesn’t stop for cold or wind. The show must go on and a tore up net catches no fish. These guys had been working for three days to repair this net in suck ass conditions, but there really is no other option if they areto get back out making money.
